Not sure what command line is? See Intro to Command Line Interface

• Both .bashrc and .bash_profile set up and customize your command line environment. This is where you can put keyboard shortcuts or path variables
  • .bashrc is run when you start a new bash instance, like when you type /bin/bash in a terminal (non-login shell)
    • This file contains things that you need in every shell you open, like aliases, functions, etc. These 'per shell' session items are not inherited from the environment
  • .bash_profile is executed to when you login (ex. type username and password) via console, either physically at the machine or through SSH (login shell)
    • This file contains things that only need to be defined once at login time, like PATH, environment variables, startup programs, etc.
    • In most cases, you also need the things from .bashrc in your login shell. That's why .bash_profile sources .bashrc, but .bashrc doesn't usually source .bash_profile
• On OS X, Terminal by default runs a login shell every time. This is a little different than most other systems, but you can configure that in preferences

6. Determine your user name
